Quotes that Make you think

"The purpose of sociology [psychology or anthropology - really, any social science] is to enable the individual to see the everyday - the ordinary and mundane details of life - in a new way; to challenge, as it were, the perceived notions we hold of the world and the institutions and peoples that inhabit it."

- Peter Berger, Sociologist


Common sense is what tells us the Earth is flat and the Sun goes around it. - Anon.

unexpected answers

I was suprised by the answer that men have not always been dominant over women. I did not expect that in some societys women are dominant over men. I have always thought that throughout history men have always been dominant in politics, in the household at work ect.

    This particular statement is surprising to some, Melissa, and it may be an area you want to explore later on in the course. Some societies have always granted women greater rights and privileges. In some, women have been dominant.
